 <p class="is-style-lead">Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal and Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, were among investors in a fundraise for Llama, a protocol aiming to provide easy-to-use tools for on-chain organizations.</p>
 <p>Llama, an access control and governance platform for smart contracts, raised $6 million during a seed funding round led by Founders Fund and Electric Capital. The capital raise is earmarked for further development of Llama’s platform which co-founders Shreyas Hariharan and Austin Greene say would allow developers to focus on their core products.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>The Llama co-founders said their full-stack solution was born from countless hours of supporting blockchain builders and understanding the pain points associated with running <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="smart" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/smart.html">smart</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="contract" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/contract.html">contract</a>s.</p>
